Stop it. Just stop it. So you're just going to ignore khojaly? 1 million displaced azeris? If you're going to blame us for our mistakes (which we didnt), then blame armenia equally. oh I know why, because armenia is a Christian country, well guess what? This conflict is not about religion, it's about land. I don't know if this will impact your greek mind but I hope it respectfully does
i am an atheist and couldn’t care less about religion, plus i know azerbajan is a secular country, but iran which is a muslim country still treats armenians as humans, so maybe take example of them, no matter how much you try to destroy and erase armenian history like you did in julfa, or claim the medieval armenian churches you forgot to destroy under your occupation are “ancient albanian”, i know those lands are historically armenian.
Is answering a simple question hard? You don't seem to have a definite answer of who Armenians really are nowadays. So I'd advise you to learn the ethnicities of Armenians nowadays before shoving their "history"
Do you know why they are called armenian? Because the people who live in the geographical area called "armenia" identify themselves as armenian. However, they call themselves "hayks" which are a different ethnic group who migrated to the region. The armenians you are mentioning in history are way different than the ethnic group living in the area. Feel free to ask questions
what’s the point you’re trying to make? yes they call themselves as something different than the english word we use today, same way as albanians call themselves shqiptars, but they’re still very much armenians or hayks, and are native to their lands unlike you the oppressors who inhabit their land and destroy their legacy.
Hayks were a different ethnic group In other parts of Asia. There were no shqiptars outside of Albania. The real inhabitants of Albania are them, but for armenia, hayks migrated there
How can one ethnic group evolve into another? So if Arabs migrate to Russia they will evolve into Russians? And I'm glad you recognise the ethnicity of Armenians nowadays, which are Hayks. They are visitors of armenia. I really do hope you understand this
One of my first gore videos ever, was an old armenian grandpa's house being visited by 2 azeri soldiers. I wont get into the details what happened next, but yea no. I dont have a positive opinion
So you're making and opinion about a country because of a GORE video? Every country has people who have done horrendous things. You create an opinion based on those type of videos. Not very fair if you asked me
lol, made a comment and it got deleted because some people don't like being asked not to be mean and unreasonable, so here it is, again:
As a liberal Azerbaijani, who knows my people well, I would HIGHLY encourage everyone here to pull their heads out their behinds, do their own research and actually meet a few Azeri people, before blindly believing all the lies Armenians have spread about us. We have been through enough g\*nocides, pain, hate and bullying, for you people to just believe we are the bad guys, just because Armenians told you so. And we have helped enough nations during their fires and earthquakes and wars etc, even those that do not like us (France, Greece, Lebanon, the US etc).
Please be grown adults who do research before drawing conclusions and making their final decision. We are not the murd\*rous, g\*nocidal and barbarian islamists our enemies would have you believe. We are a country with endless nations and many religions living under one roof, while Armenia is 99% christian, 99% Armenian, very islamophobic, turkophobic, anti-semitic, and has 13 recognized ter\*orist organizations, the biggest of which (Asala) is located in Beirut.
We are not like Turkey, or Russia, or Iran, just because we are between them. You can come and see for yourself, borders are always open, tourism is blooming, and you are welcome all year around (though April-May is the best time to visit, weather wise).
I'd be happy to answer any (civil) questions, so if you are curious, ask away.
First time I learned about the country was during the last major conflict.. not a good first impression. I have met one Azeri guy in person though and he was nice enough.
If by the last major conflict you mean the 2020 war where Azerbaijan started a war (and yes they did start it because they were the only ones who had the reason to do so) against Artsakh I have no idea where the not good impression came from. LOL.
Those who say that Azerbaijan is treating armenia badly it's literally because of those genocides they did in places like xodjali(idk how to spell it)
They were literally doing stuff that looked like that art clown would do, like skin someone's face while they are alive, watch kids their parents burn on a tree Alive and that type shi
So don't even dare to trash talk about Azerbaijan without even looking up what Armenia did, and also, those who say that it's russia's puppet, no it's not, armenia is, because russia is the reason armenia could capture parts of Azerbaijan
As a liberal Azerbaijani, who knows my people well, I would HIGHLY encourage everyone here to pull their heads out their butts, do their own research and actually meet a few Azeri people, before blindly believing all the lies Armenians have spread about us. We have been through enough genocides, pain, hate and bullying, for you people to just believe we are the bad guys, just because Armenians told you so.

KARABAKH AZERBAIJAN STRONG 44 DAYS EZ CLAP TURAN BROTHERHOOD

They need to chill the fuck out on the ethnic hatred, they’re making Armenians look like lovely neighbors in comparison.
Not a positive opinion about Azeris. They refuse contact with Armenians even in the diaspora, racist behavior towards them and during the last conflict they showed how merciless they can be.
Not acting like that at all. There is a thread in r/azerbaidjan that talks about how armenians are friendlier and open to contact and how Azeris just refuse to show basic civility towards Armerians.My opinion was created based on Azeris' comments.
dude at least r/azerbaijan actually allows Armenians to comment and criticise Azeris in their own sub - the Armenian sub completely blocks and shuts down anyone with the mildest form of criticism towards anything Armenian - even like criticising what the Armenians did to Azeri civilians in the first NK war.
I don't know who's allowed where, but I only said my opinion. I will read about what Armenians did to Azeris during the first war and I will review my opinion. To this point, Azeris seem to be the aggressors, maybe I am wrong.

I can easily say that's your point of view. I'm active in both of the community's and no you're wrong. You gonna ignore the other side continually and blame only one side because your window is too small for a objective view, but at least don't act like you know everything. Ignorant very ignorant.
I don't think you have any right to call other people ignorant when you're literally active on r/Turkophobia, a sub full of butthurt chauvinists with a persecution complex who'll cry and moan about being "oppressed" whenever their country is criticised.
You're active on 2 subreddits so you know what exactly? How about you provide me with examples instead of writing me off for my background. Because I'm tired of the false equivalency Azeris make while they have media freedom on par with Taliban ran Afghanistan and openly celebrate murderers, if you could provide me one actual example of Armenians acting that depraved on an institutional level then you can start pretending they're at all the same.
>You're active on 2 subreddits so you know what exactly?
Yes not consuming a only limited type of knowledge is a very good feeling, but you obviously don't know that cause the first thing you do is blaming me while the examples you need all over the places but you can't even see very basic things that's a common I see when I use reddit.
>How about you provide me with examples instead of writing me off for my background.
Why do I need to waste my time? You just want argue and defend you're perspective. How about no? You can easily do that but you don't. You are taking your time in a sub that you can easily find examples but you don't know so why I gonna waste my that you just simply refuse because you don't even really care.
>Because I'm tired of the false equivalency Azeris make while they have media freedom on par with Taliban ran Afghanistan and openly celebrate murderers,
I can say the same thing for you but you, but obviously you believe that one side is good other side is bad so it doesn't matter for someone who see everything back and white.
>if you could provide me one actual example of Armenians acting that depraved on an institutional level then you can start pretending they're at all the same.
You're frocking in Armenia and asking me for find an example, go frocking find your self hateful people everywhere in reddit and you can easily find bunch of them any of Caucasian subreddits, also I know what you gonna say even most obvious examples to you. This is not my first or second times, I learn my lesson I don't have a time for people who don't want to even listen. I say don't spread misinformation if you know nothing about reality, you don't need to know my degrees in basic human information gathering.
>Edit: plus you're Turkish so I could easily say the same about you.
Hello hello I say I'm active reader in the both sub, what my nationality have a value in that sentence. And I'm not even defending like you I'm saying you're simply wrong and no there is nothing like "good and bad" situation like you saying. You're very close too "Satan "Azerbaijanis" and God chosen angel "Armenians"" but you're the one blaming me for taking a side???? Wtf even wrong with you?
back in November 1990, Kechel had kidnapped a young Azerbaijani Popular Front activist from a village across the border, stealing his car, a red Jhiguli, in the bargain. The young Azeri, Syed, spent a month chained to the wall of a cottage near Yerevan. On New Year’s Eve 1991, Kechel and a couple of buddies, including a local police officer and their friend Ardag, dragged their captive to the top of Yeraplur, the burial hill near Yerevan. There they kicked Syed to his knees under a spreading tree next to the grave of a fellow fighter named Haroot. Then Kechel, a father of three children, began cutting Syed’s throat with a dull knife. At first Syed screamed, but after a while the screaming gave way to moaning and gurgling. Finally, when Ardag could no longer listen, he pushed a knife into Syed’s chest, putting an end to it. They drained Syed’s blood on top of Haroot’s grave and then left. Not long afterwards, a friend asked Kechel to be his daughter’s godfather. As the priest’s voice rose in hymn during the baptismal liturgy, Kechel heard Syed’s moans echoing through the church. Swooning, he interrupted the ceremony. “Could God ever forgive a person who had killed a dog out of revenge?” he asked the priest. The priest lowered his miter. “That depends,” he said, “Was it a four-legged dog or a two-legged dog?”

The quote is from a biography about that soldier's commanding officer- this excerpt is included in the book because it explains how the commanding officer looked down upon those actions and reprimanded him for it. Its also from about 40 years ago.
That quote is literally about his commanding officer disciplining him for that action, but thanks for taking deeds from half a century ago (that Armenians found disgusting even at the time, and is included in the story to show how Monte perceived war crimes committed by his ranks) to draw a false equivalency with how axe murderers and barbarians are lionized in your culture today.
Azerbaijan is closest to what people would refer as an artificial state in my opinion.
In fact, it has the name Azerbaijan was adopted in 1918 to co-opt the name from the already existing region of Azerbaijan (in Iran), now called "South Azerbaijan" by nationalists.
It was previously known as Arran, Shirvan, and (Caucasian) Albania.
Azerbaijanis called themselves Azerbaijanis long before 1918. The people living in Northern Iran are the same as us. There is nothing more natural than naming our country Azerbaijan when we gained independence and nation-states were formed.
First chance we got and we did it.
That's too much. You can support Armenia and hate the government ut modern territory of Azerbaijan has great history that is a legitimate source of pride.

These are the comments from Armenians when the Azerbaijani plane crashed.. so tell me who is better
Azerbaijani troops closed the Lachin Corridor, through which Karabakh Armenians had been receiving food, medicine, and fuel supplies from Yerevan. As a result, the region’s 120,000 inhabitants experienced acute shortages of basic foodstuffs and medicines, as well as water and electricity. This is merciless. Attacking a region and forcing its population to starve!
There is lot of propaganda about this episode of war. They closed of Lachin corridor, however they were not intending to starve them off. I am not a fan of my government but they did really offer everything through Ağdam road which is fairly known fact but local authorities in Karabakh rejected this offer due to violating "souverenity".
Moreover, Instagram was packed full of videos of weddings, birthday celebrations etc from restaurants when they were starving. When this was brought up suddenly all videos were deleted.
Then there was another video where shop owner was showing empty food racks and you could see all moved to another side of the shop in reflection.
Even Armenian blogger Roman Bagdasaryan was harshly accusing of authorities in Karabakh of artificially keeping food stocks closed to create an image of starvation.
It is a dirty conflict with tricks from both sides. Unless you really immerse yourself in the following of all information sources you will be basing your opinion on biased narrative.
I hate how my taxpayer money went to them so that they could commit ethnic cleansing, and I hate how they also meddled in our elections but barely anyone called them out for it because they're our "brothers" or some shit, I don't fucking care if they are. They are ultimately a corrupt petrostate run by a family of bastards. Don't get me wrong, there are many good people among them too, but majority of Azeris that I've met were some of the most brainwashed, chauvinistic psychopaths I've ever seen.
We literally funded the Azerbaijani military and supplied them with weapons. I don't think Erdoğan paid for all of that with his own pocket money (not that it would make any difference if he did, considering where our taxes are going to). There are also allegations of direct Turkish military involvement and while it's debatable if that's true, regardless of whether we send troops or not, we should not be involved in military conflicts of neighboring countries that do not concern or affect us. The most we should do should be to provide humanitarian aid to civilians and to perhaps set up buffer zones to prevent spillover into our land if needed. Other than that, we should not be involved.
No one funded Azerbaijan military. We paid for every single military hardware unit we received be it from Russia, Israel or Turkey. We don't need financial aid from any country and highly doubt Turkey can afford it in the first place. No argument about Turkey modernizing our army but there is absolutely no evidence Turkey helped Azerbaijan in any way or shape.
Sums up my experience pretty well. There are liberal Turks, there are nationalistic Turks, there are lunatic Turks. Azeris are lunatic Turks with an extreme inferiority complex whose entire persona is based on denying the existence of the Armenians. I mean it is borderline psychotic how they don't just try to erase any Armenian monument in their country but actively call it Caucasian Albanian architecture as to not say there were Armenians ever, or call the Armenian script stolen from Ethiopia.
And yeah, Alijev is s tier A son of a bitch. The lovechild of Ramzan Kadirov and any basic Balkan corrupt thief-in-law who cosplays as a budget Atatürk, while his average denizen in poorer than either the average Georgian or Armenian. And this despite their gas production. A true fucktard of epic proportions.
lmao i've seen them unironically say shit like "armenians are actually european settlers and missionaries who were sent there in the 1800s and speak a conlang with a alphabet"
like i'm sorry but if you believe in that shit, you're a fucking idiot
🤣that does not matter, now we are owner of north! Just like we are owners of Constantinople and Anatolia, so if you have courage then just 💪🏼MOLON LABE🇹🇷
You do realise hundreds of thousands of Russians, Mainlander Greeks and Israelis have also "settled" the southern part of Cyprus, you got a problem with them? Probably not.
Not all them, only leftist ones who still dream reunification , there are pro Turkey Cypriots as well, to me 1974 was a mistake but it happened somehow so today we defend our interests over there and that's the important thing only for us
Turkish Cypriots (not to be confused with settlers and military sent in 1974) literally have been living in Cyprus for nearly half a millenia. They have their own dialect, own culture distinct from the rest of Turkey. If that doesn't make them Cypriots, then according to your logic, most people in the US for example, are not Americans, since most of their ancestors were not the first inhabitants of that region
Nope! Kosovo is about to join EU and the citizens will have equal rights with every other EU citizen. Northern Cyprus is technically already in EU (just see the [official EU map](https://european-union.europa.eu/easy-read_en)) but because of Turkey these people there will never get the rights that all EU citizens enjoy.
This is not an EU passport, This is a turkish BS.
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern\_Cypriot\_passport](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Cypriot_passport)
Seriously? Go ask r/cyprus they will explain you! Do you want to learn one more thing? Let me educate you , Turkish is also an official language in republic of 🇨🇾Cyprus
adds to the mini-me ness also it issues its own passports, has its own legislature and even a better functioning government than turkey itself the only thing needed is for other countries to recognize it to be 'a real country' if you ask me
far be it from me to defend a country (nationalism is for idiots), but the two can't be more different.
azerbaijan is a dictatorship run by a mafia family of leftover soviets, a country that can keep this ridiculous scheme purely thanks to its oil/gas reserves which they're mostly selling to european countries.
turkey has a secular & democratic government structure that's held on pretty good considering it's been under attack of islamists for the last \~20 years who rose to power with huge support from its western "allies".
why people think the two are alike, I'll never know.
It is very rudimentary to call Azerbaijani people toxic and people are designed for killing Armenians wherever we see them and teaching our children for hatred against them and making it lifetime goal !imagine you are across the strangers and someone is accusing your family what would be your response, just praise them appreciate for that ?! excuse me but what would be your reaction if someone is accusing your people with something that they haven't done ?!
It’s frustrating how quick some of you are to paint Azerbaijanis as extreme nationalists or racists toward Armenians, without acknowledging the toxic nationalism that exists in your own countries. So many people speak as if they’re experts on a complex, decades-long conflict, while knowing little about the actual pain and history involved. Do you think it’s fair to condemn an entire nation that’s suffered deeply from a war they never asked for?
The reality is, innocent people on both sides—Azerbaijanis and Armenians—have lost their lives in this conflict. These weren’t enemies fighting for some grand cause; they were ordinary people, families, who deserved so much more than the violence and destruction that engulfed them. Whether they were Azerbaijani or Armenian, they were human, and their lives mattered.
Instead of fueling hatred from a distance, try to recognize that both nations are trying to recover from immense pain. They deserve the chance to find peace and rebuild, without outsiders stoking the flames of division. This is about more than taking sides—it’s about human lives, and they all deserve respect.

I don’t like the way Azerbaijanis get bullied.. if Armenians didn’t occupy azerbaijani land and kick out all of Azerbaijanis from modern Armenia, everything would look different.. I’m by myself Azerbaijani from modern day Armenia..
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baku_pogrom
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumgait_pogrom
You were instigators consistently. You created a settler colony in the Caucasus at the expulsion and erasure of non-Turkic minorities. There’s a reason you’re called the Israeli of the Caucasus.
https://m.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110643319
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gugark_pogrom
That’s not how it works.. you can not justify the genocided/ pogrom against a nation
I’m not justifying the counter-pogroms against Azeris, I deplore violence. But your entire pseudo-state was built on top of the corpses of other nations. Of course they’re going to hold that grudge.
It’s not vice versa, Azeris started this ethnic violence and hatred.
A country with the name of Azerbaijan didn’t exist until 1918. You’re settlers. Why are there more of you in Iran than Azerbaijan lol.
Looool that’s exactly not how it works and this would never justify the genocided against Azerbaijanis..
Also it began with the pogrom against Azerbaijanis in the 1980’s
The second karabakh war yes
If we go back to the First World War.. here:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massacres_of_Azerbaijanis_in_Armenia_(1917–1921)
I would say positive as they are extremely friendly towards us but they experience the same issues as us in the country. We both have a dictator and deminishing democracy within our states.
basically turkmenistan but with more freedom or Turkey with more oil
Yeah, I reduced a wide variaty of cultures. But it's alright because I for one am racist.
Nice, but competely wrong: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege\_of\_Stepanakert](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Stepanakert)
Both wars were started by Azerbaijan.
After the fall of the USSR, Azerbaijan claimed Nakhichevan because it was majority-Azeri. Armenia let them have it.
Armenia claimed Artsakh because it was majority Armenian. Azerbaijan should have let them have it. And if it weren't flush with hydrocarbons, it probably would.
Nakhichevan was always a part of Azerbaijan SSR as per Treaty of Moscow between Turkey and USSR, so nobody left anything to anybody. Not to mention Nakhichevan is under protection of Turkey, and any violations of Azerbaijani sovereignty over it would mean a declaration of war against Turkey as well.
Right, Turkey, a country that has never acknowledged the Armenian Genocide considers Azerbaijan to essentially be part of its territory. Now we know why the Armenians of Artsakh didn't just ask nicely. My point about the hydrocarbons is that Azerbaijan has a lot of them, providing it with both money and diplomatic cover.
If Croatia had never acknowledged the Ustasha crimes then you'd have a point about Croatian feelings about Serbian irredentism.
You better start phrasing yourself more carefully then.
Also lol, whenever you people lack arguments, you try inciting the same old whataboutism instead. Shows rather a lack of cognitive abilities.
Not only that, Artsakh (Nogorno-Karabakh Automomous Oblast) itself declared independence before either the Armenian SSR and Azeri SSR did, and was denied. Then when the Armenian SSR was granted independence from the collapsing Soviet Union, Artsakh requested to be included as a part of it and once again denied.
They're not effing Russia.
They're ancient, and known for at least three large ethnicities or religions living together in peace.. let them live in peace with they're coastline, without Russia invading they're privacy
Out of interest, do you actually believe that Nagorno Karabakh was internationally recognised as Armenian territory, and the Azeris randomly genocided Armenian civilians there one day?
I don't feel sorry for Russia, i just didn't include it because i live there essentially, only judging by my subs (tjournal refugees, NAFO, liberta) you can already guess my opinion of my own nation
common people are nice pretty much anywhere in the world. I've worked with two azerbaijanis one was gangster with a neck tattoo and smoked 10 cigarettes per hour, the other was more "educated" type and only smoked 8 cigarettes per hour
with that said the country itself and government is completely regarded... unpopular take but both them and armenians are like dollar store copies of Greece/Turkey... can't believe this was a relatively advanced area during Soviet times
This sub is becoming much closer to r/Europe everyday. Most of them don't even like their own countries and living in the western side of Europe or America.
Well people from some countries are easy target for hate. For example we as Turks (from Turkey) have bad relationship with some European countries for centuries, also people don't know much English in here, there is difference between religions Wich can produce hate towards others.
Also there is no need for important reasons as well. People can hate others with no logical reasons. Also hate create hate too, it's a human thing but not just one of the good ones.
There is also weird type of racism in western European countries but that just my opinion, I don't have a proper knowledge about that just a feeling.
You said it perfectly. I don’t understand how people can be so quick to hate an entire country.
It’s obvious why they’re saying that though. Armenia is always seen as this weak, defenseless country that Europeans pity but won’t do anything to help them out.
I don’t know it’s just weird to me. I wish we could all be more accepting.
I also stand up for Turkey too when people say awful things about it.
Love em. Basically us but with an unga bunga accent. Also having visited Baku I think they are worse than us at cooking. I wish a robust democracy for both our societies and more economic and cultural integration between two countries.
-Gets invaded and etnically cleansed
-Had one of the highest rates of internally displaced persons because of this occupation
-Tries to negotiate peace for 30 years, offers the Armenian majority area to Armenia to get the formerly Azeri majority land back.
-After 30 years of no solution, takes his land back by force
-Is the worst evil disgusting country on earth for finally defending itself. /s
Not only that but Karabakh is also recognized as part of Azerbaijan by the UN. Armenia conducted literal genocide to Azerbaijanis, invaded their country (not even a real recognized invasion) and they are considered as such innocent angels while Azerbaijan is satan itself for some reason.
Eoka attacked turks. Turks were living in enclaves, basically sieged by Greek nationalists. Greeks didn’t respect the 1960 constitution of Cyprus so much so that Turks abandoned the parliament in 1963. Greeks made a coup for Greece to absorb Cyprus. Turkey used her guarantor’s right to intervene to Cyprus, as she was legally entitled to by the 1960 agreement for Cypriot independence.
None of this would have to happen if Greeks just accepted that Turks exist in Cyprus too. My own fathers life was fucked up because of Greek Cypriots. As a Greek himself from Turkey, whatever those maniacs on the island did to TCs, Greeks in Turkey has to pay the price. Fuck nationalists. Both sides.
I agree. Fuck nationalists from both sides. And fuck EOKA. I agree. But settler colonialism is not the answer. Turkish Cypriots are now a minority in the north and are being replaced by Turks. That’s the definition of settler colonialism. Turkey does NOT care about TCs.
the people who scream the loudest about "settler colonialism" with the Cyprus situation, always seem to be the ones most silent about the hundreds of thousands of mainlander Greeks, Russians and Israelis who have moved to southern Cyprus and are citizens there. I wonder why... seems like this outrage can only be reserved for Turks...
And there are not “hundreds of thousands”. Cypriots are still a HEAVY overwhelming majority in Cyprus, whilst in the north, Turkish Cypriots ARE ACTUALLY a minority.
But the point still stands. This isn't to do with simple metrics. You've had about 120,000 Russians move and settle in Cyprus since 2000, where is your outrage for this? It reminds me of how GC's are entirely focused on Turkish military bases in the north while staying completely silent about the British RAF base in the south, that has literally been used to give Israeli's intelligence needed for their genocide. The double standards are insane.
I literally expressed my outrage over the Russians.
My outrage is that I consider Turkish Cypriots as my BROTHERS, and they are being sidelined and outnumbers in the north. Every Turkish Cypriot I’ve spoken to and am friends with is not happy about this.
Also the British bases are UK sovereign land, we didn’t allow them to do that. I’m shocked you didn’t realise that.
You consider Turkish Cypriots your brothers, but when it came to the 2004 Annan plan which would have seen them as your equals, you probably decided to vote against it. And you seriously believe that the British bases are sovereign to UK ? That's an insane take.
The brits own that land. It BELONGS to them what don’t you understand. It is part of the UK. And for the Annan plan I was 2 years old so I didn’t vote in favour you’re right
It belongs to them solely because of past conquest. Not because of any inherent historic or cultural ties to the land outside of colonialism. The exact same argument could be made for Turkey to completely take in northern Cyprus as it's own territory - you wouldn't make the same argument. It's curious to me.
Illegally occupying a country and populating it with citizens from another country is the definition of settler colonialism. The Russians etc came legally to the south, I don’t agree with it, but it’s starkly different.
I would give Cyprus as example of hypocrisy actually, since everybody here loves to mention it as an example of evilness of Turks, yet when Armenians do the same (and even worse as the other guy explained it) everybody accuses Azerbaijanis for conducting genocide.
Sadly yes,but i guess it will change after a while and azerbaijani culture will have it's own uniqness and won't be compared to persian or slavic culture
Very beautiful country, surprisingly geographically diverse for its small size. It is worrying how tolerated and accepted dehumanization and demonization of its people is here.
I think you need to understand that Armenians are the absolute golden children of westoid reddit. Even if Armenia's entire government has been nothing more than a Russian proxy for decades and the Artsakh separatists were literally aligned with that of the Donbas "Republic", it doesn't matter because to Reddit they are Christians who are surrounded by big bad Turks. The fact that they murdered up to 20,000 Azeri civilians and displaced 800,000 from Azerbaijan's legally recognised territory in the 90s is completely ignored - or more likely, purposely ignored.
Fake state , Fake name , Fake history , Fake wannabe people, Run by oil oligarch with pointy nose , people are brainwashed and can not be saved , sad state of affairs
Fine enough as a culture, but their government is awful.
Also, their feud with Armenia is way, way, over the top. Like, I get that you're mad about the border disputes, that's fair enough, but you do not have *nearly* enough material to justify things like turning an axe murderer into a national hero.
Agree with the government comment however that murdered being a national hero is a myth circulated by Armenian propaganda. If you want to see an actual murderer and terrorist being hailed as a national hero, look no further than Monte Melkonian.
But yes, our government is absolutely awful and corrupt 100%.
I think it is a beatiful country with an interesting nature and culture.
I do not like their hate against armenians but i appreciate their anti Russia political pozition.
Even if mu country has strog realtions with Armenia,romanian and azeri had some relations in the 15 century.Stephen the Great tryed to make an anti ottoman alliance with Uzun Hasan.
You realize they’re helping Russia evade sanctions by selling their oil back to Europe, right? Or that they signed a strategic agreement with Russia a day before the war in Ukraine started… they’re not on an anti-Russia position, they’re helping them out…
They only pay lip service towards being anti-Russia. so as to avoid sanctions so they can continue to repackage Russian oil and sell.
In the last conflict with Armenia they waited until the Russian ‘peacekeepers’ had retreated from their positions so that they could push forward.
The downed plane is another example of this. Their cut-rate dictator postures a lot about going after Russia but does nothing.
Some of you really need to stop your lying to yourselfs and admit the fact that as Turks we are one of the most ethnically cleansed people.
But as opposed to many others we refuse to play victim.
We are patient.
Anyway
Azerbaijan people are lot more secular than we are here im Turkiye, clearly because of being ex-Soviet country.
Just like us, democracy isn’t exactly there but I guess we really are not compatible with it. (saying this as self criticism as a people)
The land of great youtube cooking granies. I honestly love these azeri youtube channels [https://www.youtube.com/@country\_life\_vlog](https://www.youtube.com/@country_life_vlog)
A fascist petrostate and kleptocracy with an extreme inferiority complex so severe that anything and anyone that doesn’t validate their fanciful perceptions of themselves is public enemy number one. Their public identity is hating and erasing another people.
They got extremely lucky by having oil, otherwise nobody would even think about them.
A better version of Turkey.
I've met transfere uni students here from Turkey and Azerbaijan and the Azeries were always more cultured.
Maybe because Turkey is more americanised.
Also it's a shame that so many azeries live outside Azerbaijan and under the rule of the theocratic shithole of Iran
More secular than Turkey in terms of muslims. Less advanced in military but still strong enough. And has a dictatorship like govroment like most Turkish countries
Turkey isn’t a dictatorship, in the last election Erdogan barely won in the second round. EU commissioner said Election was free but not fair.
Do your search. Other Turks, don’t feed this ignorant please
I said Turkic countries. And not s complete dictatorship, Turkic countries have some type of soviet residue which stuck with them. Leaving them with dictatorship wanna be systems etc.
Only Turkey isnt the case for this however their press isnt independent, their (our) govroment is corrupt af etc. You will pretty much get jailed as if you were in a dictatorship lef country
It's mostly because they previously experienced a harsher variation of state atheism due to the Soviet occupation. I mean, Turkey did experience state atheism to some extent in the past, but it wasn't as harsh as in the USSR.
Not really, in terms of people ,overall seculars in Turkey are much more progressive and liberal or westernized, anyway as state level or policy yes they are more secular compared to Turkey(especially under current government)
Clearly the largest beneficiary of the Ukraine-Russia war. Just as Armenia was the biggest loser (aside from Ukraine itself). Now that Azerbaijan has recaptured all the territory it lost to Armenia after the breakup of the Soviet Union, it's next objective will be to reconnect it's own territory. That means capturing more Armenian territory to form a 'corridor to Nakhchivan'. This will also give Azergaijan a direct land route from Baku to Turkey, it's 'big brother'. This will eventually be used to build a gas pipeline from Baku to Turkey. Armenia, strategically speaking is in deep trouble. it has renounced Russia as it's traditional protector. And neither the EU or NATO has the willingness nor capability of protecting Armenia from Azerbaijan and the man behind the curtain (Turkey). I would expect the Fourth Armenian-Azerbaijan War to commence within the next five years.
Hate their government, love their people. Even though most people think that the Azerbaijani government sees Turkey as a brother nation, but I don't think in that way. I think that the government probably would Russia or any other superpower against Turkey, and their government is currently using Turkey. But I see Azerbaijani people as brothers and sisters, and their nation as a brother nation.
Don't know anything about the country, but I got a box of Azerbaijani black tea and it was the best tea I ever had. I don't even like tea, but this kicked ass.
